Elland
Elland is a market town in Calderdale, in the English county of West Yorkshire. It lies south of Halifax, near the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation. Filed as 'Elant' in the Domesday Book of 1086, the name of the town stems from the Old English term meaning 'land by the water, river or land partly or wholly encompassed by water'. At the time of the 2011 Census, Elland had a permanent population of 11676. Elland has a long and well established history as a manufacturing and trading town. The town obtained a charter to hold a market on Tuesdays in the 14th century, to be convened at the Manor of Elland and at 2 fairs throughout the year. The town swiftly transformed into a prime spot for wool production, and its downturn in the 20th century had a profound effect on the population, with several mills being converted to homes, if they were not demolished. Quarried near to the town after the establishment of the canal, long lasting flagstones were brought economically around the country. Elland was the home to the primary factory of the manufacturer of Gannex items and it is currently the the home of the Dobsons sweet factory, which manufactures a series of more traditional kinds of boiled sweets. Suma Wholefoods has been located in the town since 2001, which is the largest worker's co-operative. A range of landmarks are also found in the area, featuring St. Mary the Virgin parish church, the Old Town Hall and Southgate Methodist Church.
